Publisher's Summary

Ana Bacon, a beautiful young wife and mother, tumbled off a cruise ship into dark and deadly waters. Ana is gone - leaving behind her wealthy husband and adorable daughter - but not everything about her disappearance adds up. What secrets did she leave behind?

Investigator Ryan Monahan is a numbers man. So when his company sends him the Bacon case, which could net a 10 million-dollar payout, Monahan doubts that her death is just a tragic accident. But the husband has a substantial alibi and a number of witnesses claim to have seen Ana fall, and the official ruling seems to hold up.

Still, the more Monahan uncovers about Ana's life, the more he realizes how many people would kill to keep her secrets hidden. And the closer he gets to the truth, the greater the odds grow that he, too, will take a fatal fall.

Interesting

I have very mixed feelings about this book. While it was an interesting read and at times difficult to put down, the plot was quite I difficult to follow. The ending is also a bit strange too.

It seems the insurance investigator, who throughout the story worked diligently to prove that Ana's death was a scam, just decide in the end to let the daughter benefit from the insurance?

It also seems unrealistic that social workers would allow an American child to be sent to live with grandparents in Brazil who were being threatened by criminals.

I gave the book three stars because I enjoyed the read but feel the book is lacking in many respects.
